That is not relevant. My concern is that this ill-reputed person has been given a prize posting. That means that this new COAS AKA Hafiz doesn't give a damn to what people are thinking. My assessment pertains to COAS.
How is it prized? X corps is considered as most important because it very large, critical and active area of responsibility plus it’s considered to be an important step for any corps commander before getting promoted to COAS.

Most active stuff in Karachi Area will be RAW sleeper cell and their foot soldiers like in MQM and Sindhdesh party. Not very exciting for any carrier soldier.
 
A few postings, tranfers and retransfers doesn't mean any substantiative change is happening, more like some cosmetic measures to please the civilians and the optics for the internal voices in the army.

Heads need to roll, many have to be removed and court marshalled and made an example.

Only some concrete measures will get back the respect to the Army from the large swathe of population. And ideally they shouldn't be respected as in the past, even with correctrive measures taken. That extra dose of respect, extra bootlicking and pandering was one big reason for them turing into demigods and 'larger than life' mortals and we, the civilians into lesser mortals.

This new COAS is not taking even cosmetic measures.
 
He has got a prize posting. CC-Karachi.
well tbf, this is the best they could have done in the current circumstances. they need to get him out but they also couldn't punish him for the same reason nobody ever punishes the bent cops in the punjab police. the same reason america never gave up the shah despite him being useless bcoz the others are watching and they may have other ideas if you need them in the future.

besides, he was "just following orders". doubt he even had a say in the CCC other than presenting latest statistics on how many curses he received online since the last CCC.
 
Who is Major General Ahmed Sharif? What is his background? Some reports are saying that he is from EME?

If he is from Pakistan Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering that is a highly unusual appointment...
With increasing emphasis on the cyber space both in offensive and defensive espionage, it makes a lot of sense.
 
It's a case of Mohafiz he Qabiz ho gaey haeen.

Chowkidars ransacked the house and kidnaps the owners, wants a ransom money, chai pani, kharcha, and the owners home to live.

Ab mamlat merit pe karne pareingay mere bhai. Warna na anda ubaalnay ke liye gas hogi, na tank chalanay kay liye diesel.

Pakistan ki history mein hamesha se yehi ho raha hai.

Pehlay chars ka nasha kartay hain hum. Phir jab jism (body) collapse honay wala hota hai toe fruit khana shoroh kardetay hain (reactive approach). Jab body recover hoti hai thori si, dobara nasha start.


--

Abhi bhi yehi ho raha hai, 2 din sab merit ka shor kareingay, phir dobara auqaat pe ajaeyingay.

We have to decide between Sustained efforts or Drug Addict cycle. Baqi sab zubani jama kharch hai

Look at how Japan developed post Pearl harbor / Heroshima or Nagasaki.. Or Germany post WW2.

Why do Pakistan need a DG ISPR. ????

What is role of DG ISPR in Pakistan?


The directorate also works as the principle voice of the Pakistan's military, with its director-general serving as the official spokesperson of the armed forces. In addition, the ISPR provides funds to assist produce pro-military public relations media.



Unless the Army considers Pakistan an occupied territory and need to hammer down the good vibes constantly.

In all practical purposes this was not needed when actions speak louder than words.
In the current regime change DG ISPR role was negative, created more hatred, all the efforts backfired badly.

So it's better to dismantle the ISPR division, if it is creating more problems and not solving any for the Army, it's better to end it.

I am not asking for punishment. My expectation was that those Officers, who have got extreme ill-repute, in public eyes, because of their actions, albeit on the command of Mir Bajwa, shall not be given important postings. They may be accommodated on other posts, which are called "khudday-line".

But, that doesn't seem to be the case, which force me to think that this new COAS is of a dubious character. That is all.

Now we have a new economist Mir Asim Munir.

I will await for a few more days, before attaching "Mir" with his name.😀
 
Why is a general required to run ISPR.. a colonel could do the job just as well..
I have always wondered about the same. Why do we need a 2 star general to run the PR for the armed forces? A young major can do this job better than an expensive old geezer 2 star general. Put the general in the field. They are not paid to run PR, but lead on the field.

Shafting Journos, Senior Citizens and democratic politicians requires Mechanical knowledge.
